MDOR-ABC Enforcement are currently accepting training documents for review related to Mississippi-compliant Cannabis Worker Training programs from third party vendors.

Medical Cannabis Dispensary Workers are currently required to attend 8 hours of training to obtain their Worker Card and then 5 hours of training every year after to retain their certification.

MDOR-ABC Enforcement have provided 3 hours of training for this purpose where the remaining 5 hours of training falls on the individual dispensaries themselves.

If you have a training program or video that you believe is compliant with all applicable Mississippi state statutes and administrative codes and you are interested in having your training videos or programs reviewed by ABC Enforcement please send them to the ABC Permit Division at ABCPermitDepartment@dor.ms.gov.

The training modules and material will be reviewed by MDOR-ABC Enforcement. If the training meets all of the applicable requirements, we will list the training on the MDOR Cannabis Website (https://www.dor.ms.gov/dispensary_info) in the Worker Card Training section as “Training that ABC Enforcement Acknowledges as Meeting the Minimum Requirements.”

The Request for Proposal (RFP) has been issued to seek a third-party operator for the Alcoholic Beverage Control Warehouse.

Request for Proposal

 

The Mississippi Department of Revenue (DOR) has been granted approval from the Public Procurement Review Board to issue a Request for Proposals (RFP). The RFP authorizes the Mississippi Department of Revenue to contract with a third-party operator for its Liquor Distribution Center located in Gluckstadt, Mississippi. The RFP will be issued on October 11, 2022 and will be available for viewing on DOR's website. 

If you have subscribed to the designated email to receive updates on the RFP process, a link to the RFP will be emailed to you. 

Senate Bill 2844, effective July 1, 2022, authorizes the Mississippi Department of Revenue (DOR) to contract with a third-party operator for its Liquor Distribution Center located in Gluckstadt, Mississippi. State procurement laws require that DOR obtain approval from the Public Procurement Review Board (PPRB) before issuing a Request for Proposals (RFP). 

DOR is seeking permission from PPRB to issue an RFP for the operator. If PPRB grants approval of the RFP process, DOR will issue the RFP in mid-October. After the RFP is issued, DOR will schedule a pre-bid conference with all interested, potential operators. Proposals will be due from potential operators at the end of November, and the selection of an operator should occur in December.

Senate Bill 2844 also authorizes DOR, working through the Department of Finance and Administration (DFA), to construct a warehouse within fifty (50) miles of the state capitol. The Legislature committed fifty-five million dollars ($55,000,000.00) for construction and equipping the warehouse. DOR and DFA have been working to identify properties suitable for a warehouse. We are also working closely with DFA to develop an initial estimate for constructing a warehouse.

The Department of Revenue will provide an update on the RFP process following the PPRB October board meeting.    

To receive periodic updates on the RFP process for the warehouse operator or the design and construction of the new warehouse, please email DOR at the following email addresses:
